Due to the high amount of spam currently bombarding the usability  
moderation queue (~1000/day), I have temporarily set mailman to  
discard all messages to usability@... that have been held for  
moderation for more than two days.

Until further notice, if you send a message that does not appear on  
the list within a day or two, please re-send your mail and cc me, so I  
can approve it.

Thanks,
Calum.

Is it spam or bounces of spam?

Mostly bounces, mostly from postermaster and mailer-daemon

That should be severely limited as of ~12.00 UTC Sep 24. There is still
some bounces coming through (qmail mostly), but hopefully most of the
flood should have stopped.

Thanks.  I'll probably leave the two-day rule in place over the  
weekend to make sure everything's flushed out, then set it back to  
doing no automatic discards.

Cheeri,
Calum.
